Water Rules are Lifted?

According to The Mercury News, the California drought rules have been at ease. California has been in a drought since 2013, but the rain fall has greatly impacted us today. Why would we be lenient about water now? Shouldn’t we try and save as much water as we can considering its a necessity? Environmental groups have stood strong for this issue and I intend to see it through. We as citizens should be cautious and careful with our water intake.
